Description

For the third conference in our series this year, this two day symposium will feature panels and speeches from founders of political parties, high ranking members of the Armed Forces, radical artists, war journalists, former radicals, counter-terrorism activists, eminent scholars, legislators, and insider perspectives from those who have been displaced as a result of violence and conflict.

Panels and speeches include:

Colonel Jack Pryor, Professor James Fallon and General Mike Jackson discussing psychology and the extremes of warfare.

Irish republican activist Danny Morrison, former British soldier Glenn Bradley and Peter Taylor OBE in a roundtable discussion of the Troubles in Ireland.

Artist Aya Haidar, NGO Founder and Doctor Hadia Aslam, Syrian Refugee and Dentist Eiad Zinah and Serbian Refugee from Sarejevo Nada Duvnajk discuss their experiences and strategies to heal in response to experiences of the extremes of conflict and dislocation.

Speeches from esteemed speakers on the subjects of conflict, warfare and radicalisation such as High Representative of the Kurdish Regional Government H.E. Karwan Jamal Tahir, Hamish de Bretton-Gordon OBE, Major Chris Hunter QGM, Israel Bartov, Adam Deen, Prof. Sondra Hausner and Prof. Domitilla Sagramoso among others.

Together, we will explore first hand accounts of extreme experience and question the enduring roles of faith and violence in contemporary world events. We will ask why human beings continue to protest by means of inflicting and threatening pain on others. In so doing, we will seek to establish how ideological aims so often appear to demand acts of violence in order to be administered, and under what criteria such processes are deemed successful.
